I wonder if Book of Mormon, Aladdin, and Wicked will see any significant bumps in their in-person lottos since Hamilton has switched to digital. The Hamilton lotto seemed to be many people's first experience with a lotto, and I wonder if it's had the effect of making more people theater savvy (both natives and tourists).

Some people are not on twitter. I am not and never go there unless a link is posted to the twitter comment.

I have heard through the grape vine that Aladdin is going to be a digital lotto starting next week.

I sure hope Aladdin doesn't go digital. I've actually won Hamilton's lottery; I really think my luck is just better in person. I've entered the dang Fun Home one over 50 times.
I actually really hate digital lotteries because they require no commitment; if you really want to see the show for the low price, you should be willing to at least wait 30 minutes or so for it. Yeah, now I can enter every day, but my chances of winning each day are drastically reduced. I'd personally rather be able to try only once in a while. That being said, there wasn't any other option for Hamilton. It was so not-fun and unsafe.

I actually got an email telling me I won On Your Feet but the site won't let me pay for my ticket. So it's all a mess.

I really want to see Hamilton. I have been waiting almost 5 hours for my entry to be confirmed. I've been clicking the confirmation link off & on since 11am. Does that count as putting in a time commitment & waiting for it?

This is so annoying. Nothing is loading for me at all. Not even an error message now.

I remember when in person lotteries started happening I got really upset because I fully believed I "earned" those cheap tickets by getting up early and waiting in line.

When they did the lottery at TodayTix, the app didn't crash did it? I remember entering (never won) without a hitch. Why can't they use TodayTix? Even if it costs more, the production surely can afford it.

It's 4:00, did you win the Hamilton Lottery?
what a joke
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:04pm
Now the site is back up, but of course the lottery is closed. You can put in your e-mail address and check your status. I put mine in, and of course they had no record of an entry (I never got a confirmation e-mail anyway)
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:06pm
Site isn't back up for me at all.
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:08pm
I checked and got
"HAMILTON - 01/05/16, 7:00 pmLottery Still Open / Winners To Be Selected Today at 4:00 pm"
Seems hey haven't chosen the winners yet.
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:11pm
A friend just posted a picture of her lottery loser email; I didn't enter today but perhaps they were just sent out.
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:11pm
People are tweeting about winners, so it seems they have been chosen for today.
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:11pm
Just got the "loser" email. One of many many more to come. And here I was, looking forward to the extreme cold to thin out the in-person lotto crowds. Is a Hamilton lotto win without hypothermia really a win at all?

"Didn't Win Today"

Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:15pm
I entered once and received seven "you were not selected" e-mails. I get it, Broadway Direct. I get it.

My friend who entered got nine "ya lost" emails!

Just saw that one of my Facebook friends posted a screenshot of her lottery win email on her newsfeed. Never have I known jealousy more than that moment.
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:31pm
I wasn't even able to get an entry in!
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:33pm
@mmmkenziee on Twitter is about to make a lot of people really angry...
(Sorry, can't post link, Twitter is blocked at work)
Posted: 1/5/16 at 4:34pm
Two separate friends posted pictures of their win! Either hardly anyone could actually enter, or I have some incredibly lucky friends.
